The YPM said this is a big deal for this community, Chairman Fredie Carmichael said he hopes this event will make east Mississippi a key player in the election.

"I think it's two-fold. Not only for the voter to come out and get to know the candidate and make an informed decision, but also for east Mississippi," Carmichael said. "I think it's important that these candidates know we demand their attention in east Mississippi, not only now, but also after they're in office."

Mississippi's statewide elections, which include local offices like county supervisor, tax collector, and sheriff, are Nov. 6.
